iPhone 5s iOS 9.3.3 Impressions and Performance

1 / 9

We’ve spent a little more than a week with the iPhone 5s iOS 9.3.3 update and the aging former flagship is performing quite well in key areas like battery life, connectiity, and speed. Before we get to performance, we want to touch on the installation.

If you haven’t installed iOS 9.3.3 yet know that it’s a tiny update if you’re coming from iOS 9.3.2. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to download and install. We didn’t run into any installation problems on day one and you probably won’t run into any now.

As for the update’s performance, we haven’t noticed any abnormal battery drain during regular use and we don’t expect that to change in the weeks ahead. If you are dealing with poor battery life on iOS 9.3.3, be sure to check out our list of fixes. There’s a good chance it’s not iOS 9.3.3 causing the problem.

We haven’t experienced any issues with Wi-Fi, AT&T’s 4G/LTE networks or Bluetooth at the month milestone. We’ve successfully paired the iPhone 5s and its update with several different routers, ISPs, and Bluetooth devices.

The iPhone 5s in our possession is also pretty fast with the iOS 9.3.3 update on board. There’s still a little bit of sluggishness when using Control Center (this was also an issue for us on iOS 9.3.2), and the keyboard occasionally stalls, but that’s the only noticeable UI lag we’ve seen.

If you’re coming from iOS 9.3, iOS 9.3.1 or iOS 9.3.2 you’ll definitely want to consider upgrading to the iOS 9.3.3 update. It comes with some noteworthy bug fixes and changes.

If you’re coming from something older, it’s a total judgement call. Dig into feedback and its features and decide if the upgrade is worth it for you and your device.
